The Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (Aneel) ended today (07/10), in Xanxerê (SC), the contribution phase for the public hearing for the second periodic tariff review of Iguaçu Distribuidora de Energia Elétrica, started this past June 12th. The hearing counted on the presence of 54 participants, among which were consumers and repsrentatives of Iguaçu consumers.
The average preliminary review index was – 6.41% (negative). After the analysis of the contributions sent in writing and collected during the hearing, Aneel will define Iguaçu Energia’s final index, which will go in effect this coming August 7th. The distributor serves approximately 27 thousand consumer units in the Santa Catarina municipalities of Xanxerê, Xaxim, Entre Rios, Bom Jesus and Lajeado Grande.
The tariff reduction proposed is resulting of the company’s greater productivity and of the lower average capital cost (which defines the distribution leasers’ remuneration). The technical note with the review proposal for Celesc is available on the link “A Aneel/Audiências/Consultas/Fórum” at Aneel’s electronic address (www.aneel.gov.br).
The tariff review is foreseen in the concession contracts to obtain the balance of tariffs based on the remuneration of the companies’ investments aimed towards distribution service rendering and expense coverage effectively recognized by Aneel. It is applied to the distribution leasers every four years, on average.
